Hersel's farm is a familiar recurring location across the entirety of the Walking Dead universe.

It is thought to be somewhat of a safe haven, far out in the countryside away from the dangerous cities where Walkers are in high numbers.

The farm appears in the TV series, the game and the comic book. Depending on which medium the farm appears on the narrative has differed, but its appearance in the game is set before the events of the comic, where Rick Grimes eventually stumbles across the farm with his band of survivors.

Lee Everett and Clementine are brought to the farm by Hershel's son, Shawn Greene. They are soon introduced to Hersel, who agrees to let them stay in his barn. Depending on the decisions made by Lee at this point he can affect Hershel's perception of him, changing his attitude.

After a somewhat uncomfortable night sleeping in the barn, Lee awakes and interacts further with several of the other survivors around the farm. Shawn requests his help repairing a fence, and after talking to Hersel, Kenny, Katjaa, Clementine and Duck, Lee agrees to lend a hand with the repairs. He saws some wood for Lee, and then is summoned to the barn by Hershel.

The two then have a conversation in the barn about Lee's past and the fact that Clementine is with him. What could be a tense standoff is then interrupted by a scream in the distance.

Rushing to investigate, Lee and Hershel find that Duck has accidentally ran over Lee's leg using the tractor, and that they are also being attacked by Walkers. Lee must then decide which of the two he wishes to save, but regardless of the outcome Shawn Greene will die.

This prompts Hershel to get angry, and he orders everyone to leave his farm. With Kenny, Katjaa, Duck and Clementine in tow Lee and the rest of the survivors leave the farm as Hershel mourns his son's death.
